Rayyan
Chapter 38. The Quiet Room

The time still shows at 7 am, today is Sunday. This is Ren's favorite day. But this time, there was no one at home. There was only Yanti who was taking care of her duties, the others went to the hospital to accompany her brother who was suddenly sick. Ren feels lonely, he feels no friends when the people around him are busy with Ray who is more often sick than he himself.

With lethargic steps, he tried to play his own ball in the yard. Sometimes Yanti just turned to make sure the child of her boss was okay there. Then he resumed his work.

"Rinand!" Ren was silent, feeling that someone was calling his name. But when he turned to look at Yanti, the woman was mopping the floor. And there was no sign of him calling Ren's name like that.

"Renand, Son!" The voice is getting clearer. Ren turned his head towards the tightly closed gate with a high iron fence. A woman with a black hat and mask was standing there. Without a doubt, the boy left his ball there. Innocently approached the woman without hesitation.

Ren was still standing far behind the fence, but after the woman opened her mask the boy suddenly smiled. Then ran closer than where it was.

...🔹💠🔹...

Ray doesn't like it here. The pungent smell of the drugs made him even more uncomfortable. Rion was still there, busy with her phone while Arnold had been going to the office since an hour ago. The other two, Erik and Qian went home to pick up a change of clothes. Although his condition has improved, Ray is still confused why his stomach still feels bad. The porridge from the hospital next to his bed was still intact. His throat was still dry because no food had entered his mouth.

The teenager kept quiet, until there was a moment where he felt his stomach boiling. Until without realizing it, his breath again panting for reasons that are unclear. Until Ray realized that this time he was again spewing clear liquid from his mouth. But before that happened, his body first fell out of bed. Making an infusion pole next to him fell on his head. The awakened Rion immediately threw the phone in his hand.

"Why don't you say you want to"

"Dad ..." Once again, Ray regurgitated the contents in his stomach. His face was already deathly pale when Rion stroked his nape to make Ray feel better.

"Dad ... Which father?"

"Om Arnold is here, come later. Wanna drink?" Ray nodded slowly. Rion's hand reached for a glass of water beside the bed. Then drink it to Ray who is still trying to collect his life.

"You go home .. see Ren ..." Rion sighed. "On going home or not, it's the doctor who certainly not you alone!" He panicked, of course. But seeing Ray come back like this made him remember the past. The only thing that was wrong at that time was being too emotionally soluble, and being too panicked when experiencing this kind of thing. Until he realized he could do nothing but cry and curse himself.

"Come, I'll help! No one was hurt, right?" Ray shook his head while wiping his mouth. Rion helps Ray sit on the edge of the bed. Erect the fallen infusion pole and return it to its original place. For a moment he thought, after Ray lived safely and peacefully, his weight was still this light. Rion never thought that here is not easy for a Rayyan. He had to adapt to the new environment. Had become the scorn of his neighbors because of his arrival with the figure of Arnold and Ren who suddenly. Apparently, Raina's domestic problems with Arnold have become issues between them.

In silence, Ray again swallowed his bitter-tasting saliva.

"Will I vomit again?" Ray shook his head, although his tongue was still muffled and his throat was still hot, but he was sure that this time his body was already quite light.

"Gue call the janitor first, make this clean up. Is it okay to stay?" Ray shook his head, the teenager looked agitated. He played with his fingers, his glare in the eyes also explained everything.

"For a minute, I'll definitely be back!" But after arguing with himself, Ray managed to nod his head. Even though he was scared for some reason. Perhaps the effect of the fever, he again felt restless.

...🔹💠🔹...

The house looked quiet, in fact even though Rion did not talk much the room always sounded crowded when he was at home. Especially now they live with the figure of Abraham. Nia thought they would be awkward, but unexpectedly the two creatures even became crowded if left alone. More often argue than get along.

Nia rubbed her suddenly wet eyes. Lately he is a little sensitive, even remembering the slightest thing. He also wants a child who is cute and adorable like everyone else, but in fact when Rion is a little more mature the child is not interested in children's games. Or Nia calls it the definition of, 'too-quickly mature'.

"Son, you know what? Brother Papa you guys are rich in stone. Don't want to joke with Mama, not rich other normal humans. If you are born, you must be a happy child. I like to play with my mom. Let's not be lonely anymore, okay?" Nia smiling. His hands rubbed his stomach which began to look filled.

"I've been coming home so fast lately, but why do you still feel lonely?" The voice suddenly sounded. Make Nia look for the origin of the voice of the person. But before that happened, Abra was already sitting next to his wife.

"It's still noon, why are you home?" Abra cleared. Deliberately close her seat with Nia.

"You know? I'm not a rock-"

"I know. That's Doraemon's statue, isn't it?" Abra clucking. Nia is just there. After he was likened to a stone, now he is juxtaposed with a statue, a statue of Doraemon as well. Abra sighed, hugging the wife's shoulder.

"I've always been home so fast lately, why do I still feel lonely?"

"I don't know, I want a cheerful, chatty child, because Rion from childhood you have taught me to be a stone, I can't see the soul of children in him. I also want to have a child who is rich in Rayyan. Want to have an active child rich Karel or funny rich Samuel ..."

"Hey, he's your son. Not a pickling boy, he's our kid you didn't forget, did you? If he is himself, let him be. Every child is different in character."

"I don't like Rion. Just sometimes feel lonely at home no one nemenin. Maybe I need a new job."

"Big no!" Successfully made Nia sigh again. She knew very well, her husband would not allow her to do activities like before. Especially now that he knows Nia is pregnant with her child, her twins.

"I want to see Ray!"

"He's in the hospital, wait for him to come home and we'll go there?"

"You forgot? After he returned to your extended family, I was his mother's successor. Her mother is no more, Mom. You'd spare him without a mother's attention?"

"But you're not his mother, after all now he's got Qian and Erik. Rion also took care of him-"

"You won't know, a mother's attention will never be replaced with anyone ..." Lirih. He knew very well that the child missed the love of a mother. It was almost a year after Raina's departure. But still, Ray has lost his mother. Not for a month or two. But for good.

"You won't understand, because I never did!" Abra sighed.

"If so, now get ready! Put on your jacket, we're going to Rayyan's!"
